This is not a NEW property. I have found reviews, going back more than 4 years, for this property. This property is also 1/2 of two properties that are owned by the same people and managed by the same property managers. They are listed as Mary's Beach Villa and also Mary's Beach Cottage. Mary's Beach Villa is a 4 bedroom & 4 bath unit and Mary's Beach Cottage is a 2 bedroom & 2 bath unit immediately next door to the Villa. Either unit can be rented independently or they can be combined together for a rental of a larger group.

These units have reviews going back just a couple of months and extending for years so they are currently being rented. Mr Lesley's comment might refer to the own'er desire to create a larger commercial enterprise on the location, but currently these homes are being rented out the same as many of the other homes in Beacon Hill.

These homes are listed on no less than 7 different listing sites which allows for some of the confusion and great disparities in rental rates. Some of the sites are AirBNB, VRBO, IsleBlue, St Maarten Villa, SXM Condo and quite a few others.

Aircraft noise should not be a major concern, but that is also an individual perspective. 30+ visits to the island all of it staying in the Maho / Simpson Bay(near Mary's Boon) and the noise from the airport has never been an issue for us.

If you like the location, then pit all the different listing groups against each other and fight for the best price. You need to put in a little sweat equity and possibly save a lot on the first price you have seen.
